00:00How is John Calipari fitting into Arkansas?
00:20Well, you won't believe this, this isn't the first time I've taken over a program.
00:26You walk in, I need a Catholic church, I need a Dunkin' Donuts, and I need great facilities, and I'm fine.
00:34My wife grew up two and a half hours north of us, north of Springfield, Missouri, so she's got family here.
00:43And you know what? I'm like jacked about this.
00:48It's another place to make a mark, to get involved in the state where there are a lot of things that are needed.
00:57I always say if you sit in the seat I'm in, and all you do is watch tape, you kind of cheat the position.
01:04And you're not here, these are all rented seats, and you're not here long, but what do you do with it while you're here?
01:10We've taken the team to Pine Bluff, we've taken the team to Hot Springs.
01:15We've been up in Little Rock, we have a couple games in Dallas.
01:20Why is Dallas, why do our graduates all go to Dallas?
01:26They get more Arkansas graduates in Dallas than they do our own state.
01:31I mean, what is going on?
01:33You know, so, but no, SEC, we've got like 10 teams in the top 25, it's crazy.
01:40You get people picking teams in our league to win the national title.
01:45So it's going to be a war.
01:47We played Kansas in an exhibition game.
01:51These people were 20,000 strong students, and it's 25th of October, and they're like intense, a thousand students intense.
02:00So now we come down there, we're at the Dixie, we're playing TCU, and it's going to be a great challenge.
02:09And I'm telling our fans, come on, we're coming next week, we're playing Baylor in American Airlines.
02:16You know, but this is, Jamie's done a great job at TCU, and they play hard, they're well coached, and we're young.
02:26We've had two days of practice where I'm a little disappointed because almost like, okay, you beat Kansas.
02:33They have their big guy, we have ours out too, but they have their main guy.
02:38And there's a little bit of arrogance, and then they see my fangs come out, the hair on the back of my neck grows.
02:46I mean, so the last couple days I've been a little disappointed because of that.
02:51But, good group of guys, they just don't know, they're immature.
02:55Coach, I used to think of Parcells like this.
